SERMON. 


We,  having  the  same  spirit  of  faith,  according  as  it  is  writ- 
ten, I  BELIEVED  and  THEREFORE  HAVE  I  SPOKEN;  WE  ALSO 
BELIEVE,  AND  THEREFORE  SPEAK. — U  COR.  4:  13. 

Inward  elements  control  the  outward  conduct.  Men  speak 
and  do  what  they  are  prepared  to  speak  and  do.  Evil  men 
possess  internal  preparation  for  all  their  external  conduct 
that  is  evil ;  and  good  men  are  internally  prepared  for  all 
they  do  that  is  praiseworthy  and  useful.  It  is  a  question  — 
and  few  are  more  important  to  our  comitry  or  to  mankind — 
will  the  Gospel  be  preached  to  those,  who  want  either  the 
ability  or  the  disposition,  to  make  provisions  for  it  for  them- 
selves ;  and  to  whom,  therefore,  if  furnished  at  all,  it  must 
be  gratuitously  furnished  7  Will  this  work  be  carried  for- 
ward by  Christians  of  the  present  generation,  seasonably, 
energetically,  and  successfully?  Our  organizations  for  the 
work,  our  thronged  anniversaries,  the  stirring  appeals  made 
to  us  when  we  meet  together,  and  the  thoughts  of  the  mo- 
mentous consequences  depending,  thereby  awakened,  incline 
us  to  say,  the  work  will  be  done.  But  will  it  be  done  1  If 
the  Church  shall  be  prepared  to  do  it,  if  appropriate  princi- 
ples shall  exist,  deep  and  strong,  and  impulsive  in  the  souls 
of  individuals  composing  the  Church,  it  will.  Otherwise,  it 
will  not.  Who  ever  accomplished  an  important  work  with- 
out preparation  for  it?  Not  Edwards,  nor  Luther,  nor 
Moses,  nor  the  Apostles,  nor  any  other  men  of  whom  we 


4  CONVICTIONS    ESSENTIAL    TO 

have  heard.  The  Apostles  were  prepared  for  their  work, 
else  they  would  not  have  performed  it ;  and  for  ours  we 
must  be  prepared,  or,  not  having  done  it,  we  shall  be  called 
away  from  the  earth.  And  the  nature  of  the  preparation 
necessary  is  indicated  in  the  text.  It  consists  very  much  at 
least  in  the  possession  of  faith — of  proper  convictions.  The 
Apostles  believed,  and  therefore  preached  the  Gospel  —  in 
this  resembling  the  Psalmist,  who,  in  circumstances  some- 
what different,  declared  that  he  spake,  as  a  result  of  convic- 
tion. 

Helped  by  tlie  inspired  record,  we  see  the  Apostles  in  their 
labors  and  successes ;  and  awed  by  what  we  see,  we  say 
though  despondingly,  these  are  the  labors  and  the  successes 
which  the  exigencies  of  the  kingdom  of  Christ  still  demand. 
Men  could  scarcely  live  in  the  days  of  the  Apostles,  and  not 
hear  the  Gospel.  Nor  could  they  easily  hear  it  with  indif- 
ference. In  the  audience  of  Paul,  they  knew  that  they  were 
not  listening  to  a  simpleton,  a  sophist  or  a  bigot ;  their  ever- 
lasting interests  required  of  them  a  candid  hearing;  thej^ 
quaked  through  fear,  lest  judgement  should  overtake  them, 
and  great  numbers  assented  to  the  testimony  and  embraced 
the  salvation  which  it  offered.  The  faith  of  Apostles  ex- 
plains both  the  abundance  and  the  efficacy  of  their  labors. 
And  since  "  that  which  hath  been,  is  now,"  I  invite  atten- 
tion to  the  convictions  that  are  essential  to  a  vigoroiis  and 
successful  prosecution  of  the  work  of  missiotis. 

I.  There  is  needed  a  firm  conviction  of  the  truth  of  the 
Gospel,  and  of  its  importance  to  man.  Faith  in  the  Gospel 
may  be  deficient  both  in  the  subject-matter  of  it,  and  in  the 
force  of  persuasion  with  which  the  truth  is  held.  The  most 
familiar  words  of  the  Gospel  often  fail  to  suggest  to  the 
mind  their  true  and  full  meaning;  and  then  that  which 
may  be  rightly  apprehended,  is  not  embraced  sufficiently,  as 
substance.  Thus  many  profess  belief  in  the  doctrine  of 
man's  depravity,  who  have  not  a  good  understanding  of  the 
thing,  nor  a  just  realization  of  the  fact  as  actually  existing. 


MISSIONARY   EXERTIONS.  5 

And  many  speak  often  of  the  love  of  Christ,  whose  appre- 
hension of  the  meaning  of  the  terms  they  employ,  is  limited 
and  indistinct;  and  who  are  not  persuaded,  with  needed 
force,  that  Christ  hath  indeed  loved  us.  So,  of  the  day  of 
judgement,  the  endless  joys  of  Iieaven,  and  the  endless  suf- 
ferings of  hell ;  many  who  profess  to  believe  them,  as  facts 
revealed  to  faith,  do  not,  as  they  should,  either  understand 
the  things  revealed,  or  believe  how  real  and  how  near  they 
arc.  The  faith  of  most,  in  the  elementary  facts  of  the  Gos- 
pel, needs  to  gi'ow  exceedingly,  both  in  respect  to  apprehen- 
sion of  the  nature  of  the  things  believed,  and  the  strength 
of  persuasion  that  they  are  realities. 

None  but  they  whose  convictions  of  the  truth  and  the 
importance  of  the  Gospel,  arc  of  a  sort  produced  by  the 
Almighty  Spirit,  unveiling  to  their  vision  the  mysteries  of 
sin  and  of  redemption,  of  heaven  and  of  hell,  can  appre- 
ciate the  condition  of  men  living  without  the  Gospel,  or  will 
act,  as  they  should,  for  fellow  beings  in  their  circumstances. 
The  conviction  of  the  truth  of  the  Gospel,  and  of  the  inter- 
est men  ha.ve  in  it,  will  be  insufficient,  which  docs  not  differ 
from  common  convictions  on  the  subject,  in  some  such  man- 
ner as  the  convictions  of  ruin  on  the  part  of  the  sinner,  who 
has  just  been  unmasked  to  himself,  and  has  had  the  source 
of  his  iniquitous  life  laid  open  before  him,  differ  from  the 
ordinary  convictions  of  the  careless.  Believe  with  Paul, 
that  men  are  dying;  miderstand,  as  he  did,  the  nature  of 
the  death  they  experience ;  and  know  that  Christ  crucified 
is  the  only  rock  of  salvation;  and  you  will  be  impelled  to 
give  them  the  Gospel. 

II.  There  is  needed  in  men  the  conviction,  that  they  are 
stewards,  and  that  "it  is  required  in  stewards,  that  a  man 
be  found  faithful."'  The  conviction  must  extend  not  only 
to  the  one  fact,  that  of  stewardship,  but  to  the  other,  that  of 
the  necessity  of  being  "found  faithful."  It  is  useless  to  ex- 
pect, that  the  Gospel  will  be  preached  to  the  destitute,  and 
they  be  saved  by  it.  as  the  fruit  of  the  occasional  and  pitiful 


6  CONVICTIONS    ESSENTIAL    TO 

contribulions  that  Christians  may  be  brought  to  make,  at 
one  time  as  the  result  of  an  appeal  to  their  social  sympa- 
thies, at  another,  for  the  sake  of  silencing  importunities 
addressed  to  them,  or  again,  as  an  offering  to  their  pride. 

All  AVho  enter  acceptably  into  covenant  with  the  Lord 
Jesus  Christ,  stipulate  with  him : 

"All  that  I  am,  and  all  I  have, 
Shall  be  forever  thine." 

Theoretically,  the  followers  of  the  Saviour  understand  the 
principle,  that  they  are  stewards  of  God.  If  they  will  do 
their  work  in  promoting  his  kingdom,  they  must  possess 
convictions  which  will  not  allow  them  practically  to  repeal 
it.  It  has  been  well  said  by  one  to  whom  the  Christian 
world  is  much  indebted  for  his  scriptural  exposition  of  the 
law  of  duty,  in  regard  to  disposition  of  worldly  substance  : 
"  The  salutary  principle,  that  we  hold  our  property  as  sub- 
ordinate agents  for  God,  were  it  only  felt,  embraced,  allowed 
to  have  unobstructed  operation  in  our  practice,  would,  of 
itself,  be  sufficient  to  give  an  entirely  new  aspect  to  the 
cause  of  benevolence."  For  other  than  public  reasons,  it  is 
desirable  to  see  an  end  of  the  gross  incongruity  of  profess- 
ing to  yield  every  thing  to  God,  and  then  maintaining  prac- 
tically, that  our  souls  are  the  Lord's,  and  our  silver  and  gold, 
our  own.  I  know  not  a  class  of  professors  of  religion, 
whose  case,  on  their  own  account,  is  more  suited  to  awaken 
solemn  concern,  than  that  of  the  somewhat  extensive  class, 
who  exhibit  this  inconsistency.  Conduct  is  to  be  credited 
before  profession.  And  both  soul  and  substance  are  given 
to  God,  or  neither. 

III.  Scriptural  convictions  respecting  the  glory  of  the  last 
times.  Blessed  assurances  of  the  glory  of  the  Gospel,  that 
shall  be  revealed,  are  found  on  the  pages  of  the  divine  word : 
"  He  shall  come  down  like  rain  upon  the  mown  grass ;  as 
showers  that  water  the  earth."  "  He  shall  have  dominion 
also  from  sea  to  sea,  and  from  the  river  to  the  ends  of  the 
earth."     "  Every  valley  shall  be  exalted,  and  every  moun- 


MISSIONARY   EXERTIONS.  7 

tain  and  hill  shall  be  made  low;  and  the  crooked  shall  be 
made  straight,  and  the  rough  places  plain.  And  the  glory 
of  the  Lord  shall  be  revealed,  and  all  flesh  shall  see  it  to- 
gether ;  for  the  mouth  of  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it."  It  is  a 
leading  design  of  several  books  of  the  Scriptures,  to  teach 
that  the  cause  of  Christ  shall  be  victorious  in  this  world,  in 
which  and  for  which,  he  suffered  and  died. 

Who  now  are  to  be  expected  to  deposite  the  treasure  of 
the  gospel  in  the  earth,  but  they  who  believe,  that  at  the 
time  appointed,  it  will  bring  forth  fruit  ?  Hope  is  necessary 
to  vigor.  Inspired  men  while  celebrating  the  glories  of 
the  Redeemer  in  the  skies,  did  not  fail  to  occupy  themselves 
much  in  celebrating  his  reign  with  his  saints  on  earth. 
That  Christians  of  our  age  may  do  their  work,  they  must 
exult  in  anticipation  of  eternity,  nor  neglect  to  exult  in  antici- 
pations of  the  last  times. 

"  Then  Satan's  kingdom  shall  from  earth  retire, 
Dead  forms  dissolve,  and  furious  zeal  expire. 

The  Beast's  fell  throne  shall  darkness  dire  surround; 
Mohammed's  empire  tumble  to  the  ground; 

The  dreams  of  infidels  in  smoke  decay, 

And  all  the  foes  of  hearen  shall  fleet  away. 

Then  shall  the  saints  exult  with  joy  divine, 
Their  virtues  quicken,  and  their  lives  refine  ; 

Their  souls  improve,  their  songs  more  grateful  rise. 
And  sweeter  incense  cheer  the  morning  skies; 

Heaven  o'er  the  world  unfold  a  brighter  day, 
And  Jesus  spread  his  reign  from  sea  to  sea." 

The  belief  of  a  coming  millennial  state  of  the  church, 
fomided  on  the  prophetic  writings,  led  Christians  of  a  form- 
er age,  in  the  old  world,  and  in  the  new,  to  unite  together  in 
extraordinary  prayer  for  the  outpouring  of  the  Holy  Spirit ; 
and  the  same  conviction  has  been  an  incentive  to  effort,  and  a 
spring  of  comfort  in  all  recent  missionary  operations.  It  re- 
mains to  be  proved,  that  the  church  will  even  continue  the 
efforts  she  has  already  commenced,  if  this  conviction  is 
lost,  or  is  suffered  to  waver  in  the  minds  of  her  members. 


8  CONVICTIONS   ESSENTIAL    TO 

IV.  I  mention  next,  just  convictions  as  to  the  place  which 
preaching  holds  among  the  means  of  grace.  Christians 
must  believe,  that  preaching  is  a  divine  institution,  deriving 
an  efficacy  from  its  divinity ;  that  it  is  "  an  ordinance  to  be 
much  ob|gerved  before  the  Lord" — a  means  appointed  of  God, 
in  infinite  wisdom  and  mercy,  to  promote  all  the  comprehen- 
sive interests  of  man. 

It  may  be  taken  as  an  axiom  that  no  enterprise  is  advan- 
tageously prosecuted,  without  the  adoption  of  a  leading  meth- 
od in  its  prosecution.  §ince  it  was  by  no  means  certain, 
that,  in  the  enterprise  of  bringing  men  under  the  power  of 
the  gospel,  human  wisdom  would  select  the  best  means,  it 
pleased  God  to  ordain,  "  by  the  foolishness  of  preaching,  to 
save  them  that  believe."  Now  destitute  of  the  proper  con- 
viction, in  this  particular,  the  church  will  adopt  one  of  two 
courses — she  will  either  make  no  instrumentality  prominent, 
but,  scattering  her  eiforts,  will  act  vigorously,  or  cause  her 
influence  to  be  felt  impressively,  in  no  form ;  or  she  will  substi- 
tute for  a  divine  institution,  a  human,  expending  her  principal 
vigor  in  sustaining  that.  Adopting  either  alternative  she  will 
dearly  learn,  that  "the  foolishness  of  God  is  wiser  than  men." 

He  who  is  infinite  in  wisdom  foresaw  that  his  gospel 
would  be  inculcated  in  religious  books,  in  the  Sabbath 
School,  and  in  other  methods ;  all  of  which  he  doubtless  ap- 
proves. But  the  employment  of  one  means,  as  principal,  he 
would  secure.  He  commanded,  "  go  preach  the  gospel  to 
every  creature." 

How  many  of  the  multitudes,  translated  from  earth  to 
heaven  during  eighteen  hundred  years,  have  been  saved,  di- 
rectly or  indirectly  through  preaching?  Employing  lan- 
guage, not  with  mathematical,  but  with  general  exactness  I 
answer,  the  whole. 

Suppose  preaching  were  now  to  cease,  what  would  be  the 
influence  of  such  cessation  on  other  means  employed  to  save 
the  soul?  They  would  immediately  lose  a  great  part  of 
their  efficacy,  and  would  inevitably  themselves,  soon  cease 


MISSIONAKT   EXEKTIONS.  9 

to  be  employed.  Whereas  the  preaching  of  the  gospel  to 
men,  enjoying  no  other  means  of  grace,  could  scarcely  fail, 
in  a  short  time,  to  bring  all  other  desirable  means  into  requi- 
sition and  use.  Compared  with  the  living  herald  of  the 
cross,  with  the  Bible  in  his  hand,  himself  converted,  and  en- 
ergetically engaged  in  the  work  of  converting  others,  all  other 
instrumentalities  are  wanting  in  simplicity,  directness,  com- 
prehensiveness, continuity  of  influence,  and  in  adaptation  to 
the  human  soul,  and  to  the  almost  endlessly  diversified  dis- 
positions and  states  of  men. 

The  minister  of  Christ,  called  of  God,  and  qualified  for 
his  work,  has  thought  of  men  living  and  dying  like  the 
beasts  that  perish,  and  his  heart  has  pitied  them.  He  flies 
to  the  destitute  town,  and  lifts  among  its  inhabitants  the 
standard  of  the  cross,  speaking  "in  words  not  of  man's  wis- 
dom, but  which  the  Holy  Ghost  teacheth."  He  does  the 
Avork  of  an  Evangelist,  and  then  assumes  the  responsibilities 
of  the  Christian  Pastor.  Soon  you  shall  hear,  that  a  relig- 
ious interest  has  commenced  in  the  place  of  his  labors — and 
speedily,  that  it  is  extending,  and  has  become  absorbing. 
God  is  carrying  forward  a  work  of  his  grace,  in  which  sin- 
ners of  every  description  and  age  are  converted  to  Christ, 
and  are  gathered  into  his  fold.  "  From  day  to  day,  the  sub- 
jects of  Satan  are  brought  out  of  darkness  into  marvellous 
light.  The  whole  town  is  silent  and  solemn  from  the  pres- 
ence of  Jehovah.  For  a  good  while  the  people  do  not  won- 
der at  the  language  of  him,  who  said:  "I  have  loved  the 
habitation  of  thy  house,  the  place  where  thine  honor  dwell- 
eth."'  And  they  know  the  meaning  of  the  promises:  "In  all 
places  where  I  record  my  name,  I  will  come  imto  thee."  "  I 
will  make  the  place  of  my  feet  glorious." 

We  may  not  confidently  affirm,  that  among  that  people 
love  will  never  grdw  cold,  and  the  concerns  of  eternity  be- 
come again  comparatively  neglected  and  forgotten.  Man  is 
inconsistent,  fickle  and  imgrateful.  But  let  the  servant  of 
Christ  continue  his  labors,  and  assuredly  religion  will  again 


10  CONVICTIONS    ESSENTIAL    TO 

lift  up  its  languid  head.  The  saints  will  renew  their  cove- 
nant with  God,  as  in  the  days  of  Josiah,  and  will  abide  by 
their  vows ;  and  again  shall  the  presence  of  Jehovah  be  with 
that  people.  And  thus  it  shall  be  from  generation  to  gener- 
ation. Of  the  children  it  shall  be  written :  "  They  departed 
not  from  following  the  Lord,  the  God  of  their  fathers." — 
Where  the  minister  whom  the  love  of  Christ  constrains,  and 
in  whom  the  Holy  Ghost  dwells,  lives  and  preaches  the 
gospel,  other  instrumentalities  come  in,  as  of  course,  and  pro- 
duce their  proper  effects,  and  there  is  an  influence,  by  God's 
blessing  on  which,  religion  is  kept  flourishing.  He  is  sur- 
rounded by  his  flock,  who  without  him  would  accomplish 
little,  but  with  him  extend  a  Christian  influence,  and  lay 
foundations  for  coming  generations.  He  will  die,  perhaps 
early ;  but  another,  of  like  spirit  with  him,  will  come,  and 
take  up  the  work,  in  the  midst  of  which  he  falls. 

Can  you  find  that  which  shall  be  a  substitute  for  the 
preaching  of  the  gospel  by  a  living  ministry,  or  which  can 
properly  be  compared  with  it?  If  continuing  the  exertions 
she  has  commenced  in  other  departments  of  benevolent  ef- 
fort, the  convictions  of  the  church  should  constrain  her  at 
once,  to  increase  her  exertions  ten  fold,  in  promoting  the 
preaching  of  the  gospel,  I  cannot  doubt,  that  the  prominence 
which  would  be  thus  given  to  God's  chief  institution  for  sa- 
ving men,  would  be  greatly  advantageous  to  the  kingdom 
of  Christ. 

Correct  conviction  on  this  subject  is  important.  None  but 
God,  can  save  men;  and  he  exerts  his  power  in  connection 
with  his  appointed  instrumentality.  The  church  may  ex- 
pect to  prosper,  to  be  preserved,  only,  while  she  goes  under 
the  segis  of  his  almighty  power,  and,  in  a  spirit  of  perfect  de- 
pendence, abides  by  his  instructions.  Existing  convictions, 
I  am  persuaded,  need  modification.  Other  means  are  helps 
and  conveniences,  which  we  are  not  innocent  in  withholding 
from  the  needy ;  but  "the  gospel  preached  to  them"  is  dai- 
ly bread  to  the  poor,  which  they  must  have,  or  perish.     If 


MISSIONARY    EXERTIONS.  11 

we  "withhold  it.  tlioy  must  die,  and  wc  must  answer  for  thoir 
death.  '  "When  immortal  beings,  pressing  to  eternity,  are  with- 
out the  preaching  of  the  gospel.  I  wonder  wc  can  help  feel- 
ing it  to  be  a  time,  not,  for  delay,  or  for  much  consultation ; 
but  a  time  when  tlie  eye  should  moisten,  the  bosom  heave, 
and  the  hand  be  conveying  relief.  I  wonder,  that  the  difficul- 
ty is  not,  to  impart  with  the  necessary  wisdom  and  patience. 
It  is  otherwise,  because  our  conviction  of  the  necessity  and 
the  efficacy  of  the  provision  which  God  has  prescribed  for 
dying  souls,  does  not  correspond  with  our  conviction  of  the 
necessity  and  the  efficacy  of  something  to  eat  for  the  starv- 
ing. 

V.  The  conviction  is  authorized,  and  is  important,  that 
each  denomination  of  Christians  has  its  own  special  respon- 
sibilities. In  the  wisdom  of  God,  the  Christian  Church  con- 
sists ofsects,  holding  in  common  the  essential  principles  of 
the  gospel,  but  differing  in  things  which  though  minor,  are 
not  without  importance.  There  are  many  analogies  to  this 
fact  In  the  family,  Ave  find  diversity  in  unity.  In  the 
brotherhood  of  the  same  Church,  disciples  are  seen  to  differ 
from  each  other  in  the  traits  of  their  character.  In  the  min- 
istry of  the  same  sect,  there  are  distributed  '•  diversities  of 
gifts."  The  analogy  extends  to  the  physical  creation.  The 
heavenly  bodies  move  in  their  respective  orbits,  impelled  not 
by  one  force  only,  but  by  different  forces.  There  is  no  fear 
of  the  diversity,  that  creates  distinction  in  any  part  of  God's 
government. 

Now,  peculiarity  in  gifts  should,  doubtless,  be  understood 
to  indicate,  as  the  design  of  God,  something  of  peculiarity 
in  responsibility  and  in  office;.  As  the  desirable  motion  of 
the  planets  is  secured,  while  each  of  the  forces  concerned  in 
producing  their  movement,  discharges  its  own  appropriate 
duties  ;  so  we  may  conclude,  that  God  intends  that  what  is 
lacking  in  one  branch  of  his  Church  shall  be  supplied  by- 
other  branches.  To  affirm  that  any  one  branch  may  with- 
draw itself  from  the  work  of  God,  or  is  not  bound  to  labor 


12  CONVICTIONS    ESSENTIAL    TO 

energetically,  without  constraint  and  in  its  own  way ;  is  as 
unreasonable  as  it  would  be  to  affirm,  that  either  the  cen- 
trifugal or  the  centripetal  force,  by  the  concurrent  action  of 
both  of  which  the  heavenly  bodies  are  kept  in  their  majestic 
and  useful  motion,  should  either  cease  to  act.  or  cease  in  its 
action  to  follow  its  own  imparted  tendency. 

That  branch  of  the  Church,  of  which  it  concerns  me  to 
speak,  has  its  defects.  We  pray  God  that  he  will  give  our 
brethren  grace  to  make  up  for  our  deficiencies,  that  so  the 
Gospel  may  receive  damage  in  nothing.  But  I  maintain 
that,  with  its  defects,  it  has  also  its  distinctive  excellencies. 
Other  branches  have  their  gifts,  and  their  obligations  result- 
ing from  their  gifts.  This,  too,  has  its  gifts  and  its  offices. 
It  is  distinguished  from  other  branches  of  the  Church  in 
making  prominent,  certain  doctrines  in  faith,  and  certain 
usages  in  practice,  which  are,  at  least,  made  less  so  by 
others.  And  its  distinguishing  characteristics  are  not  secon- 
dary aspects  of  the  Gospel,  in  such  a  sense,  that  they  can 
be  .surrendered  without  detririient.  They  would  speak  more 
than  idly,  who  should  say,  that  the  distinguishing  charac- 
teristics of  these  Churches  have  not  been  concerned  in  the 
blessings  they  have  received,  and  in  the  good  they  have  ac- 
complished. It  must  be  a  fanciful  expectation,  however 
men  may  choose  to  please  themselves  with  it,  that  these 
Churches  will,  in  time  to  come,  move  elastic,  strong,  com- 
manding respect,  discharging  their  duties  to  the  world  and 
to  other  sections  of  the  Church,  and  continuing  to  prosper 
as  they  have  prospered ;  unless  they  shall  still  be  themselves 
in  their  action,  and  therefore  themselves  in  their  convictions. 
Is  it  questionable  whether  the  doctrines,  that  man  is,  by 
nature,  totally  destitute  of  righteousness  and  of  strength ; 
that  God  has  a  just  liberty  to  do  with  the  sinner  as  he 
pleases ;  that  regeneration  is  a  change  produced  by  the  Holy 
Spirit  instantaneously,  but  invariably  resulting  in  enduring 
holiness;  and  that  the  children  of  believers  have  a  relation 
to  the  Church,  implying  special  obhgationon  the  part  of  the

Church :  liavc  had  an  influence  in  makmg  New  England, 
what  it  has  been,  and  what  it  is  ?  Shall  we  be  told,  that 
New  England  could  have  been  what  it  is  without  the  influ- 
ence of  the  Puritan  Churches,  with  their  distinguishing  fea- 
tures; or  that  it  had  been  ds  well  with  society,  if  the 
influence  of  these  Churches  had  not  been  felt?  Is  there  an 
intelligent  Christian  in  the  nation,  that  can,  for  one  moment, 
hesitate,  as  to  the  answers  that  must  be  given  to  these  ques- 
tions ? 

History  presents  these  Churches,  in  our  country,  in  a 
somewhat  peculiar  position.  Equally  with  any  other  por- 
tions of  the  Church,  they  have  been  blessed;  in  the  essential 
elements  for  usefulness  they  are  inferior  to  no  other  portions ; 
and  there  are  on  the  globe,  I  am  persuaded,  no  Churches, 
whose  obligations,  in  the  sight  of  Heaven,  or  of  the  wise 
and  good  on  earth,  are  more  solemn.  While  Congregational 
Cliurches  are  not  left  to  work  alone :  the  sense  of  the  Scrip- 
tures, the  gifts  of  the  King  of  Zion  to  them,  and  the  position 
and  relations  in  which  his  providence  has  placed  them :  do 
show,  that  they  have  a  part  assigned  them  in  the  work  of 
propagating  and  maintaining  a  religion  in  the  world,  which 
shall  give  presence  and  power  to  the  conviction  in  men.  that 
there  is  a  great  and  holy  God  in  heaven,  and  that  the  Bible 
is  his  word ;  which  shall  secure  subjection  to  law,  intelli- 
gence and  urbanity  and  sobriety  of  conduct,  the  observance 
of  the  holy  Sabbath,  the  proper  training  and  government  of 
children:  attendance  upon,  and  reverence  for,  divine  wor- 
ship: pure  revivals  of  religion,  and  the  prayer,  labor  and 
self-denial,  by  which  the  kingdom  of  Christ  shall  be  estab- 
lished in  every  land. 

I  seem  to  hear  Christians  of  other  names,  not  undervalu- 
ing themselves,  or  forgetting  that  they  also  have  a  mission, 
yet  overlooking  mere  interests  of  party,  calling  to  these 
Churches  to  go  forward  in  their  labors  for  the  glory  of  the 
Saviour  and  the  good  of  man;  and  to  go  forward,  not  forget- 
ting whose  descendants  they  are,  holding  forth  their  sense  of

the  oracles  of  God.  They  dare  not  take  —  they  wish  not 
to  take,  from  the  world,  the  influence  of  religion  distinguish- 
ed as  has  been  that  of  the  Puritan  Churches.  And  it  is 
manifest,  that  the  more  decided  the  persuasion  of  these 
Churches  themselves,  that  thue  views  of  the  Gospel  whose 
inculcation  must  depend  mainly  upon  them,  are  important 
to  mankind,  the  more  impressive  and  sacred  will  he  their 
sense  of  their  responsibility.  If  the  ministers  and  members 
of  Congregational  Churches  in  Necw  England  are  worthy  of 
their  parentage,  though  all  the  world  should  call  on  them  to 
forget  it,  their  prompt  reply  will  be :  "  we  openly  declare, 
that  we  will  not." 

Such  are  the  more  important  conditions  essentially  con- 
nected with  energy  and  success  in  the  entcrprize  of  missions. 
As  connected  with  tiie  work  in  our  own  country,  there  is 
needed  also  the  conviction  naturally  produced,  while  the 
eye  rests  on  the  direction :  "Beginning  at  Jerusalem;"  and 
while  we  hear  the  chief  Apostle  saying:  "I  could  wish  that 
myself  were  accursed  from  Christ,  for  my  brethren,  my 
kindred  according  to  the  flesh."  We  are  specially  bound  to 
seek  the  salvation  of  fellow-beings,  who  are  at  our  door,  and 
who,  if  they  perish,  like  the  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem,  must 
perish  wonderfully. 

If  the  principles  to  which  I  have  adverted,  are  the  more 
important  of  those  on  which  the  work  of  evangelization  is 
based,  I  need  not  occupy  much  time  in  laboring  to  demon- 
strate the  necessity,  that  our  faith  iehould  embrace  them. 
Search  the  Scriptures.  They  represent  all  the  victories  of 
saints,  as  triumphs  of  their  faith.  Consult  history  and  ex- 
perience. Impelled  by  solemn  convictions,  the  Apostles,  in 
a  short  time  accomplish-ed  a  revolution,  which  changed  the 
whole  aspect  of  society,  and  the  prospects  of  the  human 
race.  Had  they  been  men  without  convictions,  they  would 
have  been  men  without  vigor,  leaving  behind  them  no  name, 
memorial  or  influence.  An  age  of  decided  religious  convic- 
tions has  been  invariably  an  age  of  strength;  and  an  age  of 
indistinct  and  loose  faith,  an  age  of  imbecility. 


MISSIONARY    EXERTIONS. 


The  necessity  of  conviction  appears  from  tlie  unalterable 
conditions  and  laws  which  reguhite  ]iiiman  activity.  Man 
is  naturally  inactive.  In  religion  he  is  moved  to  profitable 
action  only  by  the  alfcctions  which  are  generated  and  sus- 
tained through  definite  and  strong  religious  persuasions.  It 
is  indeed  to  be  enjoined  upon  Christians  to  go  and  show 
mercy  to  the  poor,  though  they  feel  not,  as  they  should,  the 
impulses  of  the  spirit  of  charity;  and  they  are  to  be  taught, 
that  doing  this,  they  will  generally  find  the  practice  of  be- 
neficence producing  in  them,  as  a  frait,  the  spirit  of  benevo- 
lence. But  conviction  must  guide  benevolence,  and  much 
more,  constrain  to  the  deed  of  mercy,  when  we  must  go  to 
it  with  a  forced  step,  and  a  parched  spirit.  The  Church, 
without  the  right  principles  and  faith,  may  be  wrought 
upon;  but  it  can  be  \vrought  into  nothing  good;  and  its 
confirmed  state  will  be  that  of  paralysis. 

Consider   the   extent  of  the  work  of  evangelization,  the 
greatness  of  its  aims,  the   obstacles  it  has  to  overcome,  its 
unimposing  character,  the   means   necessary  to  its  success, 
and. the  toils  and  self-denial,  with  which  it  must  be  carried^ 
forward.     If  we  confine  our  view  to  our  own  country,  it  is  a 
vast  work,  that  is  given  to  us  to  contemplate  and  to  accom- 
plish.    We  number  destitute  towns  not  by  tens,  but  by  thou- 
sands.    The  giving  of  a  few  cents  will  not  suffice;  serious 
sacrifices  must  be  made.     The   men  we  employ  cannot  tell 
us,  when  the  work  will  be  done,  or  their  cry  be  other  than  a 
call  for  stronger  efibrt.     Wanting  the  advantages  of  suitors 
present,  and  also  of  those  very  distant,  they  cannot  definite- 
ly make  known  to  us  their  encouragements  or  their  discour- 
agements ;  nor  can  they  move  om:  sympathies  by  considera- 
tions of  that  which  is  new,  and  at  a  great  remove  from  us. 
We  think,  we  know  beforehand  aJl  they  can  tell  us  — we  in 
fact   know  enough,  to   be   little  interested  to  learn,  but  not 
enough  to  move  us  to  action.     While  no  cnterpri:*  has  more 
urgent  claims  upon  American  Christians,  than  that  of  home- 
missions,  none  is  more  sure  to  essentiahy  fail  in  their  hands,. 


16  CONVICTIONS    ESSENTIAL    TO 

if  they  shall  not  prayerfully  ponder  it,  and  be  urged  to  it  by 
conviction. 

The  subject  suggests  a  few  concluding  thoughts. 

1.  We  learn  the  spiritual  character  of  the  missionary 
work.  Not  only  are  its  aims  spiritual  —  the  enthronement 
of  Jehovah  in  the  hearts  of  men ;  and  the  means  to  be  em- 
ployed spiritual  —  the  light  of  truth,  the  simple  publication 
of  the  Gospel;  but  it  is  an  enterprize  which  a  spiritual 
Church  ouly  can  carry  forward.  Its  springs  are  in  the 
hearts  of  spiritual  Christians,  or  rather  in  the  Divine  Spirit, 
Avho  is  the  author  of  faith  and  of  all  good  principles  in  the 
hearts  of  men. 

2.  We  are  taught  how  to  judge  as  to  the  prospects  of  our 
work.  It  may  seem  to  be  prosperous.  External  appear- 
ances may  keep  alive  our  hopes.  But  such  appearances 
could  be  of  little  importance,  if  we  should  see  the  faith  of 
the  Gospel  dying  in  the  Churches;  the  elementary  convic- 
tions of  Christians  losing  distinctness  and  force ;  the  differ- 
ence between  gold,  silver  and  precious  stones,  and  wood,  hay 
and  stubble  disregarded ;  the  day  of  Christ's  universal  reign 
on  earth  beheld  only  as  some  vague,  uncertain,  nebulous, 
infinitely  distant  object ;  and  the  means  to  save  men  of  God's 
ordaining,  contemned,  and  exchanged  for  human  inventions. 
We  must  ask  not  only  whether  the  Church  exhibits  a  show 
of  action,  but  also  whether  there  exist  in  it  the  principle,  the 
faith,  the  heart  of  religion,  which  justify  the  expectation  of 
a  continued  supply  of  spiritual  power.  Action  may  con- 
tinue in  the  direction  it  has  assumed  by  mere  momentum ; 
as  the  motion  of  a  projected  body  does  not  at  once  cease, 
when  the  hand  that  projected  it,  no  longer  exerts  itself  Or 
to  vary  the  illustration,  the  tree  may  just  now  exhibit  foli- 
age, the  life  of  whose  trunk  is  perishing,  the  system  of  its 
roots  not  striking  into  a  soil  that  can  afford  it  nutriment. 

3.  The  absence  of  interest  in  the  work  of  missions  dis- 
closes defect  in  Christian  character.  Many  profess  no  sym- 
pathy for   this  work;  and   still   larger  numbers   practically

exhibit  none.  B\it  if  tlicy  only  believed  the  Gospel,  and 
that  they  are  stewards,  and  that  Ciod  has  ordained  by  the 
foolislniess  of  preaching  to  save  milHons  that  are  perishing 
—  if  their  minds  were  only  filled  with  the  thonghts,  and 
their  sonis  pressed  with  tlie  convictions,  that  the  Gospel, 
being  trne,  is  every  thing  to  men,  and  that  its  communica- 
tion is  a  work,  indeed  necessary  to  the  destitute,  eminendy 
pleasing  to  God  and  beneficial  to  their  own  souls ;  they 
would  be  interested  in  communicating  the  Gospel ;  and  their 
interest  in  dying  rich,  and  hi  much  that  they  call  providing 
for  their  own,  Avould  at  once  subside.  The  fact,  that  you 
are  not  interested  in  commuuicating  the  Gospel,  is  a  reason, 
why  you  should  be  anxious  on  the  question,  how  you  your- 
self receive  it.  It  is  certainly  a  voice  speaking  of  deficien- 
cy in  the  very  essentials  of  inward  religion. 

4.  I  add,  the  subject  reveals  the  only  hopeful  method  of 
advancing  in  our  work.  We  ought  to  advance.  It  is  doubt- 
ful, whether  what  we  are  doing  is  as  creditable  to  us,  as 
what  was  done  by  the  founders  of  the  Maine  Missionary 
Society  was  creditable  to  them.  The  advances  we  have  made 
do  not  correspond  with  progress  in  secular  enterprises — with 
progress  in  reclaiming  the  wilderness,  and  covering  the  soil 
Avith  villages  and  cities;  with  the  gigantic  strides  in  arts,  in 
commerce  and  in  manufactures.  Our  efforts  do  not  corres- 
pond with  the  extent  and  destitutions  of  the  field  assigned 
us  for  cultivation,  nor  with  the  exertions  of  the  wicked  to 
spread  error  and  perpetuate  sin.  We  do  not  satisfy  the  wish- 
es of  the  benevolent  heart;  nor  do  we  so  meet  the  demands 
of  conscience,  as  to  feel  free,  hopeful  in  prayer  and  strong  in 
the  Lord.  We  proceed,  oppressed,  I  should  not  say  with  the 
conviction,  but  with  the  suspicion,  the  grounds  for  which  we 
rather  dread  to  examine,  that  we  almost  entirely  fail  to  do 
our  duty. 

In  the  work  of  preaching  the  gospel  to  the  destitute,  we 
have  not  attained,  but  do  stand  chargeable  with  slothfulness. 
But  if  it  was  ever  true  of  the  Christian  of  any  country  or 


18  CONVICTIONS    ESSENTIAL    TO 

age.  it  is  true  of  the  Christian  of  this  country  and  of  this  age: 
"  He  also  that  is  slothful  in  his  work,  is  brother  to  him  that 
is  a  great  waster."  We  should  double  our  exertions,  and 
then  go  on  with  gradual  increase.  And  if  we  do  not  ad- 
vance now,  it  may  be  too  late.  Let  Infidelity  and  Roman- 
ism get  a  quarter  of  a  century  ahead,  and  it  may  be  long 
before  the  ills  shall  be  cured  which  we  want  the  wisdom 
and  the  fidelity  to  prevent.  The  penitent  toils  of  many  ages 
may  be  insufficient  to  repair  the  guilty  negligence  of  one  age. 
And  that  we  may  advance  in  our  work,  we  are  prepared 
to  see,  that  we- must  advance  in  spiritual  preparation  for  it. 
Let  the  faith  of  the  Church  bear  twice  the  degree  of  re- 
semblance to  the  faith  of  the  apostles,  that  it  bears  at  pres- 
ent, and  she  will  at  once  double  her  exertions  in  preaching 
the  gospel  to  the  poor.  Prayer  for  faith  is  the  way  to  ad- 
vancement. By  faith  the  church  casts  the  mountains  into 
the  sea.  By  faith  she  has  wrought  miracles  of  power,  and 
she  will  still  work  miracles  of  love.  When  Christians  be- 
lieve, the  world  is  saved.  "Faith  puts  a  divine  fire  into  the 
dullest  soul,  and  draws  in  Saul  also  among  the  prophets; 
it  turns  the  peasant  into  the  apostle,  and  the  apostle's  near- 
est follower  into  the  martyr." 

And  the  requisite  increase  of  faith  may  be  soon  secured; 
for  though  it  is  God's  method  to  enlarge  his  kingdom  grad- 
ually, it  is  still  his  way,  from  time  to  time,  to  impart  to  it  a 
mighty  impulse,  to  do  wonders  at  a  stroke.  How  soon  was 
the  persecuting  Saul  changed  into  an  apostle !  what  clear- 
ness and  force  did  a  few  days  impart  to  the  faith  of  the 
twelve !  In  answer  to  prayer,  God  can  now,  in  a  day,  give 
clearness  to  the  vision,  and  energy  to  the  faith  of  his  people. 
They  may  exhibit  at  once  a  wisdom,  and  devotion  which 
would  lead  the  beholder  to  imagine,  that  they  must  be  vet- 
erans in  the  service.  Let  us  then,  lift  the  prayer :  "  Lord, 
increase  our  faith."  And  may  we  be  heard  in  mercy,  and 
be  answered  in  peace.

REPORT 


OF  THE  TRUSTEES  OF  THE  MAINE  MISSIONARY  SOCIETY,  AT  THEIR 

THIRTY-EIGHTH  ANNUAL  MEETING  IN  FRYEBURG, 

JUNE  25.  1845. 


"  The  kingdom  and  dominion,  and  the  greatness  of  the 
kingdom  under  the  whole  heaven,,  shall  be  given  to  the  people 
of  the  saints  of  the  Most  High.'^ 

Every  evangelical  eiFort  that  is  made,  in  whatever  section  of  the  world, 
and  however  restricted  in  its  influence,  is  contributing  something  to  the  ac- 
complishment of  this  end.  Every  successive  year,  though  the  progress 
may  seem  almost  imperceptible,  is  ncaring  this  grand  event.  It  shall  be 
readied  ;  Christ  shall  subdue  the  world  unto  himself.  He  shall  go  forth 
"from  conquering  to  conquer."  And  in  this  warfare,  men  shall  be  work- 
ers together  with  God.  Though  the  weapons  of  their  warfare  are  not  car- 
nal, but  spiritual,  yet  they  shall  be  mighty  through  God  to  the  pulling  down 
of  strong  holds.  The  saints  shall  "  overcome  through  the  blood  of  the 
lamb."  And  they  shall  be  joint  possessors  with  Christ,  in  all  the  blessings 
of  the  conquest. 

This  Society,  which  celebrates  its  3?th  anniversary  to-day,  was  designed 
to  be  a  humble  instrument  in  the  hands  of  God,  in  hastening  this  gracious 
design;  in  bringing  forward  the  millenial  glory.  Its  object,  as  expressed 
in  its  constitution,  is,  to  "  extend  the  knowledge  of  God  our  Savior,  and  to 
send  the  glorious  gospel  to  those  who  are  destitute  of  the  public  and  stated 
means  of  religious  instruction." 

It  is  made  the  duty  of  the  Trustees  to  submit  to  the  members,  contribu- 
tors and  friends  of  the  Institution,  at  the  Annual  Meeting,  a  Report,  em- 
bracing the  names  of  the  missionaries  employed,  during  the  year  then  clos- 
ing ;  the  places  where  they  have  labored,  with  the  obstacles  and  successes 
in  their  course  ;  the  state  of  the  treasury,  and  the  condition,  wants  and 
prospects  of  the  Society.  This  method  will  be  adopted  on  the  present 
occasion.

way;  and  meet  the  expenditures  within  their  own  limits. 

Rev.  Ukiah  Balkam,  Union,  Lincoln  County,  3  .J  months. — Mr.  Balk- 
am  left  this  stand  in  the  early  part  of  the  year,  and  has  taken  the  pastoral 
charge  of  the  church  in  Wiscasset. 

Rev.  Mighill  Blood,  Penobscot  County,  3  months. — Mr  Blood's  servi- 
ces were  well  received,  and  we  doubt  not,  useful.  One  church,  in  the  re- 
gion, made  particular  application,  that  his  mission  might  be  lengthened  out, 
in  their  behalf.'  But  as  much  had  already  been  done,  as  the  Trustees  felt 
themselves  justified  in  doing,  in  their  circumstances,  for  that  portion  of  the 
vineyard. 

Mr.  Samuel  Bowker,  Union,  i  month. — Mr.  Bbwkcr  writes  under  date 
of  28th  ult. :  "  At  this  time,  arrangements  are   being   made   to    settle   the 
ministry ;   and  they  cherish  the  strong  expectation  of  soon  being  able  to. 
enjoy  the  labors,  of  one  whom  they  can  call  their  owh  minister." 
Mr.  Daniel  R.  Cady,  Winslow,  1  month. 

Rev.  Isaac  Carleton,  Oxford,  2.^  months — Mr.  Carleton  is  pastor  of 
this  church.  His  journal  states,  under  date  of  1st  inst.:  "In  several  res- 
pects our  prospects  were  never  better.  Our  congregation  is,  on  the  whole, 
increasing!  And  though  not  large,  compared  with  some  old  congregations, 
yet  nearly  double  what  it  was,  when  I  first  came  here.  We  are  in  a  low 
state,  and  need  the  influences  of  the  Holy  Spirit.  One  only  has  been  ad-

Rev.  E.  G.  Carpenter,  Dexter  and  Exeter,  3^  months. — Mr.  Carpen- 
ter is  stated  isupp^y  to  these  two  churches.  He  writes  :  "  Truth  is  silently 
but  effectually  making  progress ;  and  the  conviction  is  extending  in  the 
public  mind,  that  our  ark  of  Congregationalism  is  not  to  be  despised,  as  a 
refuge  from  the  floods  of  delusion  that  have  been  sweeping  over  this  other- 
wise beautiful  region." 

Rev.  Sumner  Clark,  Unity,  Waldo  County,  3^  months. — Mr.  Clark 
has  been  ordained  to  the  pastoral  care  of  this  church  during  his  mission. 

Rev.  Dana  Clayes,  Jefferson  and  vicinity,  10  months. — Mr.  Clayes  has 
preached  in  Jefferson,  Washington,  Union  and  Bremen.  This  region  is 
manifestly  improving  in  its  ecclesiastical  concerns. 

Rev.  Joseph  H.  Conant,  Chesterville  and  Fayette,  1 1  months. — Mr. 
Conant  is  pastor  of  the  church  in  Chesterville,  but  has  supplied  one  fourth

MAINE   MISSIONARY    SOCIETY.  23 

Rkv.  Samuel  S.  Drakk,  Garland  and  vicinity,  3^  months.— Mr.  Drake 
has  the  pastoral  care  of  the  Church  in  Garland  ;  but  has  spent  a  portion  of 
his  time  in  the  destitute  region  round  about.  He  has  lately  supplied  Gar- 
land and  Levant,  each  alternate  Sabbath.  Probably  this  will  be  the  ar- 
rangement for  the  coming  year. 

Rkv.  Joshua  Eaton,  Aroostook  County,  7  J  months. — Mr.  Eaton's  field 
of  labor  is  extensive,  including  Monticello,  Now  Limerick,  Smyrna,  Port- 
land Plantation,  Foxcrofl  Settlement,  and  Plodgdon,  a  range  of  some  40 
miles.  He  holds  stated  meetings  on  the  Sabbath,  in  all  Uie  above-named 
places  ;  though  there  is  no  Congregational  Church,  except  at  Monticello. 
Labors  have  succeeded  well  hitherto.  The  field  though  new,  is  promising. 
Mr.  Eaton  has  gone  to  the  distant  region,  on  a  second  mission.  In  a  letter 
of  the  5th  inst.,  he  says  :  "  On  my  return,  I  fucnd  things  much  as  I  left 
them,    if  any  difference,  I  think  more  encouraginjr." 

Rev.  Henry  Eddy,  Turner,  3  months.  Mr.  Eddy  writes;  "Although 
we  are  not  permitted  to  record  rich  displays  6£  Divine  grace,  during  the 
brief  period  of  my  labors  here  ;  yet  there  has  been  a  decided  improvement, 
in  various  respects.  Our  meetings  on  the  Sabbath  are  well  attended. 
There  is  a  degree  of  attention  given  to  the  preaching  of  the  word,  which  is 
truly  gratifying.  Some  degree  of  interest  is  felt,  (though  not  so  much  as 
one  could  wish,)  in  our  weekly  meetings  for  prayer.  But  we  need  the 
special  influences  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  to  render  the  means  of  grace  effect- 
'ual." 

Mr.  Rufus  W.  Emeksos,  North  Bangor,  1  month. 

Rev.  Geokge-W.  Fargo,  Penobscot  County,  3  months.  Mr.  Fargo  had 
a  wide  range,  in  Northeastern  Penobscot  j  preaching  at  Passadumkeag, 
Howland,  Burlington,  Masardis,  Patten,  and  many  other  places.  It  is  a 
destitute  field,  and  needs  cultivation  ;  and  the  people  are  said  to  be  "ea<«er 
for  the  enjoyment  of  Christian  privileges." 

Ret.  Jonas  Fisk,  Vassalboro",  North  Augusta,  and  Lisbon,  9  months. 
Mr.  Fisk,  during  the  year,  has  removed  from  Vassalboro'  to  Lisbon,  where 
he  has  commenced  his  labors  under  promising  auspices. 

Rev.  Joseph  Freeman,  Strong,  2  months.  Mr.  Freeman  writes  :  "Dur- 
ing the  year,  the  state  of  religious  interest  has  been  various.  At  times, 
there  have  been  apparent  indications  of  good  ;  there  seemed  to  be  united 
desires  and  many  fervent  prayers  for  the  outpouring  of  the  Holy  Spirit. 
Doubtless,  God  would  have  opened  the  windows  of  heaven,  and  poured  us 
out  a  blessing,  if  all  the  tithes  had  been  brought  into  the  storehouse,  to 
prove  him  herewith,  that  there  might  be  meat  in  his  house." 

Rev.  Amos  N.  Freeman,  Abyssinian  Church,  Portland,  2  J -2  months. 
Mr.  Freeman  has  taken  the  charge  of  a  school,  in  addition  to  his  pastoral 
!abors,  so  that  there  has  been  no  draft  upon  the  funds  of  the  Society,  in  his 
behalf,  for  the  last  six  mouths  of  the  year.

by  profession,  5  new  members  to  the  Church,  3  of  whom  are  heads  of  fam- 
ilies. Our  meetings  have  been  well  attended,  and  our  house  of  worship, 
which  will  accommodate  250  people,  is  too  small  for  our  convenience."'

date  of  20th  ult ,  "  The  increase  of  hearers  and  attention  on  the  Sabbath  is 
manifest.  Although  I  cannot  report  any  cases  of  special  interest  among 
the  people,  yet  there  is  evidently  some  seriousness,  which  tends  to  strength- 
en our  faith,  and  encourage  our  hearts."  The  people  have  extended  an  in- 
vitation to  Mr.  Lincoln,  to  become  their  pastor.  No  definite  reply  has  yet

in  these  t  nvns,  with  great  particularity.  He  considers  them  not  possessed 
of  sufficient  means  to  sustain  the  gospel  themselves,  but  deserving  of  aid 
from  others.

move tiiree  worthy  and  efficient  members  of  my  little  flock.  One  by 
death,  and  two  by  calling  tiiem  away  to  anotlier  field  of  labor.  Durintr  the 
whole  year,  the  heavens  over  this  place  seem  to  have  been  as  brass ;  o-iv- 
ing  no  signs  of  rain,  or  dew  even.  In  external  matters,  we  have  prospered 
more  than  in  former  years.  The  congregation  has  rather  increased.  Our 
house  of  worship  has  been  much  improved,  and  a  general  spirit  of  harmo- 
ny prevails  among  tiiose  who  are  without." 

Rev.  John  Perham,  Madison  and  Anson,  3  i  months. — These  two 
churches  have  united  in  presenting  to  Mr.  Perham  a  call  to  become  their

26  REPORT  OF  THE  TRUSTEES  OF  THE 

into  the  interior.  Mr.  Savage,  in  his  report,  under  date  of  3d  ult.,  states  ; 
"  The  missionary  district  of  Monlicello  is  very  important,  from  the  posi' 
tion  and  importance  of  the  towns,  and  from  our  footliold  in  them  ;  and  it 
affords  sufficient  scope  for  the  enert^ies  of  one  man.  The  present  incum- 
bent has  been  well  received,  and  I  should  be  glad  to  see  him  established  in 
this  field,  with  his  family,  for  the  coming  year.  In  reference  to  the  district 
of  Fort  Fairfield  and  its  appendages,  I  deem  it  of  the  utmost  importance  to 
the  cause  of  Christ  and  the  welfare  of  North-eastern  Maine,  that  a  Mission- 
ary of  your  Society,  be  sustained  there,  on  tlie  Aroostook  river.  The  fer- 
tile valley  through  which  it  flows,  with  its  rising  villages  and  teeming  pop- 
ulation, surely  demands  one  minister  of  Puritan  principles,  to  proclaim  tlie 
truth,  to  aid  in  establishing  sabbath  schools,  and  to  guide  the  sin-stricken 
heart  to  Jesus.     The  missionary  now  there,  is  just  the  man." 

Rev.  John  Sawyer,  Corinna  and  vicinity,  1  ^  months.  • 

Rev.  Jotiiam  Sewall,  Springfield,  No.  6,  and  vicinity,  6  months  —Mr. 
Sewall  performed  this  mission,  at  two  several  times.  He  exchanged  one 
month  with  Rev.  Mr.  Munsell  of  East  Brewer,  who  supplied  at  Lincoln  ; 
and  in  the  balance  of  the  time,  Mr.  Sewall's  report  states,  that  he  "preach- 
ed 138  timts  ;  made  363  family  visits  ;  attended  4  church  fasts  and  confer- 
ences ;  baptized  1  adult  person  and  1]  children;  administered  the  Lord's 
Supper  5  times  ;  admitted  4  persons  to  church  fellowship  ;  and  assisted  in 
the  organization  of  one  Church." 

Rev.  William  S.  Sewall,  Piscataquis  Co.,  3  months. 

Rev.  Daniel  Sewall,  Penobscot  and  Piscataquis  Counties,  3^  months. 
Mr.  Sewall  spent  a  month  in  Patten  aad  vicinity,  North-eastern  part  of  Pe- 
nobscot county,  and  the  balance  of  the  time  in  Sangerville  and  vicinity, 
Piscataquis  county.  One  or  more  missionaries  have  been  placed  at  each  of 
these  stations,  the  3'ear  past;  and  we  must  make  up  our  minds  to  lose 
ground  there,  if  they  are  not  equally  well  supplied,  the  coming  year.  Mr. 
Sewall  remarks,  under  date  of  2d  inst.,  "  My  labors  have  been  expended  at 
Patten  and  Passadumkeag,  Penobscot  County ;  and  Sangerville,  Abbot, 
Sebec,  Atkinson  and  Blanchard,  Piscataquis  County.  I  have  preached 
regularly  on  the  Sabbath,  and  lectured  and  visited  from  house  to  house, 
more  or  less,  durino-  the  week.  The  disposition  manifested,  in  most  of  the 
places  visited  to  hear  the  word  attentively,  has  been  pleasant  and  encour- 
aging. Though  the  state  of  religion  in  these  Churches,  is  in  general  low  ; 
still  there  are  individual  instances  of  humble,  consistent,  self-denying 
piety.  At  Patten  and  Sangerville,  and  their  respective  vicinities,  a  mis- 
sionary should  be  stationed,  with  as  little  delay  as  possible.  From  both 
these  points,  a  considerable  population  may  be  reached,  and  with  the  bless- 
ing of  God  savingly  benefitted."

removed  into  town,  within  a  few  months.  They  will  probably  unite  with 
us  soon.  One  of  them  had  not  had  the  privilege  of  communing  with  any 
church,  for  more  than  8  years,  until  she  came  to  our  last  communion. — 
There  was  a  widow,  at  our  communion  in  January,  who  had  not  commun- 
ed with  a  Congregational  Church  for  20  years.  To  those  members  of  old- 
er churches,  who  remove  into  our  new  settlements,  it  is  unspeakably  pleas- 
ant to  find,  that  the  Gospel  and  its  ordinances  are  there.  It  is  like  discov-

ces, must  have  gone  down." 

Rev.  Franklin  Yeaton,  Limington,  3  ^  months. — In  his  journal,  under 
date  of  29th  ult.,  Mr.  Yeaton  says  :  "  I  regret  that  I  have  nothing  specially 
interesting  to  report,  in  respect  to  the  state  of  our  Zion.  A  scries  of 
church  meetings  for  devotional  purposes,  were  commenced  in  the  winter 
and  held  once  a  fortnight,  which  were  well  attended,  and  were  useful  in 
quickening  the  members  in  duty,  and  uniting  their  hearts  in  love.  Yet  in 
general,  religion  has  been,  and  still  is,  low.  We  have  raised  12  dollars  for 
Foreign  Missions,  and  hope  soon  to  do  something  liberal  for  the  Maine 
Missionary  Society." 

RESULT    OF    THE    OPERATiONS    OF    THE    LAST  VEAR. 

Missionaries,  to  the  number  of  80,  have  been  laboring  in  the  feeble 
churches,  or  in  the  waste  places,  during  the  year  now  closing  ;  5  in  ad- 
vance of  the  preceding  year.  The  amount  of  labor  has  been  about  one 
fifth  greater ;  making  25  years.  The  increase  has  chiefly  been  in  the 
north  eastern  section  of  the  State ;  the  Aroostook  County  and  the  part  of 
Penobscot  County  adjoining  it.  It  was  not  thought  safe  to  do  less  for  other 
parts  of  the  State,  than  had  been  done;  but  for  this,  it  was  judged,  there 
must  be  done  more.  6  missionaries,  through  the  year,  have  labored  in  this, 
so  lately  destitute  region  ,;  3  in  Aroostook  County,  and  3  in  the  borders  of 
Penobscot  County  adjoining.  This  has  added  a  thousand  dollars  to  the  an- 
nual e.vpenditure.  But  it  could  not  be  dispensed  with.  There  was  an 
open  door  and  effectual ;  and  the  voice  of  Providence  clear  and  distinct: 
"  Enter  in  and  possess  the  land."  Increasing  efforts  have  been  made,  and 
corresponding  success  has  crowned  the  efforts.  "  Labors  have  not  been  in 
vain  in  the  Lord." 

One  hundred  and  two  feeble  churches  have  been  aided,  in  sustaining 
Gospel  ordinances,  the  current  year  ;  and  about  half  as  many  waste  places 
have  been  furnished,  more  or  less  frequently,  with  the  means  of  grace. — 
Five  of  the  missionaries  have  been  ordained  or  installed,  during  their  year 
of  labors,  and  some  few  others  are  now  in  a  train  of  settlement.  In  some 
of  the  churches,  the  jjoings  of  God  have  been  witnessed,  and  souls  have 
been  born  anew  into  the  kingdom  ;  but  not  in  great  numbers,  as  has  some- 
times been  the  case,  in  years  gone  by.  Perhaps  enough  to  occupy  the 
places  of  those  who  have  been  removed  by  death  or  dismission. 

But  there  has  been  great  prosperity  ;  much  to  encourage  effort.  Tliere 
has  been  great  mutual  love  in  the  churches;  great  care  to  "  strengthen  the 
tilings  that  remain,  that  were  ready  to  die  ;  unshaken  stability,  amid  all  the 
e.xciting  influences  of  the  day.     Half  a  century  ago,  all  Christendom  slept. 


MAINE   MISSIONARY    SOCIETY.  29 

Not  that  there  was  a  destitution  of  religion,  or  want  of  interest  in  the  cause 
of  God,  but  there  \\as  comparatively  no  action  or  cliaritable  effort,  in  car- 
rying the  goapcl  abroad  or  sustaining  it  among  the  feeble  at  home.  But 
since  tijat  period  tiiere  has  been  a  great  waking  up  in  this  respect,  as  also  in 
every  department  of  liuinan  life  Distance  has  been  almost  anniliilated  on 
tlie  sea  and  on  the  land.  The  watchword  is,  despatch  ;  verging  perhaps  to 
the  other  extreme ;  being  over  cautious  to  avoid  Charybdis,  make  wreck 
on  Scylla.  But  the  churches  have  breasted  the  storm,  unmoved  and  un- 
movable,  abounding' in  the  work  of  the  Lord.  They  have  enabled  the  So- 
ciety to  make  great  enlargement  of  operations ;  spreading  out,  on  the 
right  hand,  and  on  the  left. 

We  would  not  compare  our  operations,  in  extent,  with  those  of  the  Par- 
ent Institution.  That,  having  its  scat  in  the  empire  state,  throws  its  shad- 
ow of  influence  to  the  North-Eastern  boundary  ;  and  carries  its  blessings,  rich 
and  abundant  blessings,  to  the  South  and  to  the  West,  towards  the  setting 
sun,  onward  and  onward,  till  it  is  brought  up  by  the  Pacific. — Much  less, 
would  we  compare  our  theatre  of  labors,  with  that  of  those  institutions  in 
various  parts  of  Christendom,  whose  object  is  to  carry  the  gospel  to  the  in- 
numerable multitudes  of  the  wide  spread  and  far  off  heathen  nations. 

Their  '■'^ field  is  the  world."  But  still  there  have  been  advances.  The 
most  manifest  improvement  (and  perhaps  this  is  natural,)  is  seen  in  the 
newest  parts  of  the  state.  The  Aroostook  County  has  been  wonderfully 
blest,  not  only  in  having  the  labors  of  missionaries  more  than  in  time  past, 
but  also  in  many  other  respects.  One  of  the  missionaries  is  abundantly 
furnished  with  tracts  and  bound  volumes,  by  the  American  Tract  Society  at 
Boston,  for  charitable  distribution  in  the  region.  And  still  more,  (which 
should  be  remembered  with  devout  gratitude,)  the  late  Samuel  Tuttle  Esq., 
of  St.  Stephen's  in  New  Brunswick,  the  last  autumn,  a  little  before  his  de- 
cease, made  a  donation  of  500  dollars  to  furnish  them  witli  libraries  for 
their  Sabbath  Schools.  So  that  a  new  and  absorbing  interest  is  waked  up, 
in  this  department  of  christian  enterprise.  Sabbath  Schools  are  being  or- 
ganized, in  every  village  and  hamlet,  in  the  openings. 

It  is  much  to  be  wished,  that  they  who  contribute  of  their  substance,  to 
sustain  these  charitable  operations,  might  themselves  visit  these  cottages 
in  the  wilderness,  these  log  houses  in  every  clearing  ;  and  see  with  what 
joy  they  hail,  even  a  transient  missionary  ;  and  liow  thankful  they  are  for 
the  stated  ordinances  of  worship,  where,  but  for  your  self-denying  efforts, 
they  would  be  "  suffering  a  famine  of  hearing  the  words  of  the  Lord." — 
Your  "eyes  would  affect  your  hearts."  The  only  danger  would  then  be, 
that  you  would  be  induced  to  give  too  much  ;  yes,  altogether  too  much  ; 
more  than  your  circumstances  could  any  way  justify. 

STATE    OF    THE     TREASLRV. 

The  expenditures  of  the  Society,  for  the  year  past,  have  been  somewhere 


30  REPORT  OF  THE  TRUSTEES  OF  THE 

in  the  neighborhood  of  9.000  dollars  ;  one  thousand  dollars  in  advance  of 
the  expenditures  of  the  year  preceding.  There  must  be  this  annual  in- 
crease of  expenses  to  meet  the  gradual  enlargement  of  operation.  And 
there  must  be  continued  enlargement  of  operation,  till  missionaries  are  sta- 
tioned in  every  nook  and  corner  of  the  wide  field  to  be  cultivated. 

The  treasurer,  during  the  year,  has  met  claims  upon  the  Society,  to  the 
amouut  of  somewhat  more  than  $.5,000.  And  in  his  Report,  just  submitted 
to  you,  there  is  a  balance,  in  favor  of  the  Society,  of  about  $600.  So  that 
$3,000,  received  on  this  occasion,  would  meet  all  the  liabilities  of  the  So- 
ciety. This  amount  was  collected  at  the  last  annual  meeting.  And  it  is 
confidently  hoped,  that  the  spirit  of  charity  is  not,  like  the  shadow  upon 
the  dlal-plata  of  Ahaz,  retrograding.  The  calls  never  were  louder  and 
deeper,  for  an  onward  'movement. 

PROSPECTIVE  VIEW. 

The  field  before  us  is  long  and  broad,  and  is  every  year  becoming  longer 
and  broader.  It  has  already  been  stated,  that  the  expenses  of  the  present 
year,  are  $9,000.  The  coming  year,  $1,000  must  be  added  to  this  amount. 
The  income  of  the  Society  must  be  $10,000,  in  order  that  in  every  section 
of  the  State,  there  should  be  an  active  and  healthy  operation.  Those  who 
sustain  this  cause  must  not  be  weary  in  well  doing.  There  must  be  indom- 
itable perseverance  in  this  work,  to  fulfil  the  gracious  designs  of  God. 

But  people  sometimes  become  impatient,  and  inquire  with  no  small  de- 
gree of  petulence  :  "  When  will  come  the  end  ?  We  have  been  giving 
and  giving  and  giving,  and  there  is  no  end  to  it."  There  will  be  many 
long  years  yet,  funloss  indeed,  the  Adventists  have  more  ground  for  their 
predictions,  than  has  generally  been  conceded  to  them,)  before  the  end  of 
this  business  comes.  The  Trustees  of  this  Institution,  at  the  last  anniver- 
sary, were  pathetically  exhorted.  In  a  communication  from  gentlemen  from 
abroad,  a  body  of  christian  men  from  abroad,  (they  must  have  been  from 
abroad,  or  they  conld  not  have  judged  so  widely  from  the  facts  in  the  case,) 
we  were  pathetically  exhorted  to  make  a  strenuous  effort,  and  do  the  work 
up,  at  once  ;  and  then  be  at  leisure  to  unite  with  others,  in  carrying  the 
Gospel  over  the  world.  What  ideas  people  can  have,  of  winding  up  such 
a  concern,  it  would  be  difficult  to  conjecture.  This  Society  has  been  in 
operation,  and  in  successful  operation,  for  almost  40  years  ;  and  the  work 
as  yet,  is  any  thing  but  doneup.  Indeed,  applications  to  the  Society  for  aid, 
at  this  moment,  are  more  multiplied  and  more  pressing,  than  at  any  previ- 
ous period  since  its  organization,  They  thought,  as  our  operations  were 
restricted  to  a  single  State,  the  affair  might  be  brought  to  a  close  in  a  sin- 
gle year.  It  is  true,  indeed,  that  our  operations,  from  the  act  of  incorpora- 
tion, or  the  rules  of  the  Society,  are  restricted  within  the  limits  of  a  single 
State  ;  our  own  State  of  Maine.  I5ut  it  is  no  "  pent  up  Utica."  It  is  as 
large  as  all  New  England  besides;  between  30,000  and  40,000  square  miles. 


MAINE    MISSIONARY   SOCIETY.  31 

And  one  half  of  this,  a  dense  forest ;  in  all  the  range  of  which  is  Jieard  the 
soundof  the  woodman's  axe;  constant  breakings  in  upon  the  wilderness; 
with  a  pressing  and  accumulating  tide  of  immigration.  And  the  means  of 
religion  must  be  made  to  keep  pace  with  the  rapidity-  of  population,  or 
there  will  be  error  and  confusion,  and  every  evil  work.  And  the  other 
lialf  of  the  State,  which  is  inhabited,  is  all  dotted  over,  here  and  there,with 
feeWe  churches  and  waste  places.  No,  we  shall  none  of  us  live  to  see 
the  end.  The  veriest  infant  of  days  among  us,  will  not  live  to  a  period 
late  enough,  to  witness  the  consummation  of  this  far-reaching  project.— 
But  we  see  it  progressing ;  and  have  the  promises  of  God,  (-and  faithful  is 
He  who  liath  promised,)  for  its  final  and  glorious  issue.  This  should  sus- 
tain us  in  our  labors;  cheer  us  on,  in  the  self-denials  and  toils  of  life  ;  so, 
that  when  our  day  of  action  closes,  we  might  lie  down  and  die,  in  peace 
and  in  hope,  as  Moses  did  on  Pisgah,  having  in  prospective  vision,  the  prom- 
ised land.
